' and Tables, of which the following is a had to the accompanying drawings formingA specification. l

This invention has for its object to combine in a single article a refrigerator and a table, so that perishable commodities can be kept fresh and handy. rIhe object stated is attained by a novel combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter described and claimed, and in order that the same may be better understood, reference is a part of this specification.

In the drawings,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device;

Fig. 2 is a cross section thereof;

Fig. 3 is an inverted plan view of the table top, partly broken away, and

Fig. 4 is a plan view, partly broken away, of the device with the table top and certain drawers omitted.

Referring specifically to the drawings, 10 denotes a central ice chamber around which is built a provision compartment 11 containing shelves 12 and fitted with glazed doors 13. The bottom 14 of the compartment is supported on casters 15 so that the device may be readily shifted around. The ice chamber is circular in horizontal cross section and contains a receptacle 16 for holding the ice, and above said receptacle the encircling wall 17 of the chamber has perforations 18 -through which the cold air escapes into the provision compartment surrounding said wall. The top of the ice chamber is closed by a cover 19 which is removable to permit access to said chamber.

The top 20 of the provision compartment 11 is flush with the top of the ice chamber 10 and extends from the side wall of said compartment, and above said top is located a table top composed of two sections 21 and 22, respectively, which are arranged similar to the' top of an extension table, the usual slides 23 being provided. Beneath this table top, in the space between the same and the top wall 2O of the provision chamber 11, are located slidable drawers 24 arranged radially.

The two sections 21 and 22 of the table top meet above the cover 19 of the ice chamber 10, so that when said sections are spread, the cover is exposed and may be removed for access to the ice chamber.- When the table top vsections are closed up, the device may be used as a kitchen or other table, and as it is combined with a provision compartment, a very handy and convenient kitchen or dining room appurtenance is had.

I claim: l

A combined refrigerator and table, comprising a central ice chamber, a provision compartment surrounding said chamber, a top for said compartment projecting therefrom, said top being flush with the top of the ice chamber, the latter being open at the top and provided thereat with a removable closure, a table top located above the ice chamber and the aforesaid top of the provision compartment, said table top being composed of opposite sections which meet above the ice-chamber and cover the same, and said sections being slidable outwardly to uncover the ice-chamber, slides on the provision compartment top clear of the ice chamber, for supporting the table top sections, and drawers in the space between the' table top sections and the provision compartment top, said drawers terminating at their inner ends short of the ice chamber.
